First Game

Ok, so Tripp's first two soccer games haven't been the best. The first game went really well for the first 30 minutes, and then he got knocked down. He cried for the last 30 minutes of the game and wouldn't go back in. In his defense, he's the youngest one on the team, and it was almost 7:00 and he hadn't had any dinner. But, with that being said, I wanted to string him up by his toes. Our child CANNOT control his emotions. Once he starts crying like that, it's next to impossible to get him to stop. Or, he'll stop briefly and then the slightest thing will set him off again. It's awful!!! I can't stand it. I've tried everything...ignoring him, loving on him, being next to hateful to him. Nothing works. So, I don't know how our season is going to go. The thing that stinks the most is that he's actually really good to be so young. He gets right in there with them and tries to kick the ball. I'm just not sure he's going to be a contact sport kind of kid.
But he makes me proud even when he's a stinker! I mean, look at him. He's pretty darn cute if I do say so myself!

Carter played soccer when he was 4, he would turn into a dinosaur during the games and flap his arms and squawk down the field! We tried t-ball the next year and he was great, but a year makes a huge difference as well!

Hope the season gets a little better once he gets into the swing of things. Loved seeing all of your pics!
